What Aldi's cheese looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 43 Aldi cheese products with usable figures is 6.5g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 5.3g median for cheese across every chain and brand in the database, which is 1,079 products.

10 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in four, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the five chains carrying enough cheese to compare, Aldi comes second, behind SuperValu on 6.7g.

The best Aldi option here reaches 18.2g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider cheese group something reaches 19.6g, so Aldi is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 62 to 442 per 100g across the Aldi cheese range, a 7-fold spread, so “Aldi cheese” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Aldi

On the numbers the pick is Aldi Emporium Fat Free Natural Cottage Cheese 300g: 18.2g of protein per 100 calories, 2.8 times the 6.5g median for the group.

11 of the 43 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Cheese across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Aldi sells is the other half of the comparison.

A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.

For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.

FAQ

How many cheese products does Aldi have?

We track 43 Aldi cheese products with full label figures. 43 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 10 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.

Is Aldi the best place to buy cheese?

On protein per calorie alone, Aldi's median is 6.5g against 5.3g for cheese across every chain and brand we track. That is one number out of several — price and taste are not in this database — but it is the one nobody prints on the shelf.
